SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 598,810, `dated.February 8, 1898i. Application filed May 111, 1897. Serial No. 636,431.(No model.)

To @ZZ whom t may concern: 1

Beit known that I, ROBERT P. PEARsoN, of Gloucester City, county ofCamden, State of New Jersey, have invented an Improvement inLoo.m-Te1nples, of which the following description, in connection withthe accompanying drawings, is a speciiication, like letters on thedrawings representing like parts.

This invention has for its objectthe production of a loom-temple whichwhen a pickout is to be made may be pushed back into its stand on thebreast-beam and its shank be turned one-fourth about, so as to put thetemple-head entirely out of the way.

I have also invented novel means for coniining the stand-holder to thebreast-beam,

the device being adapted to cooperate with beams varying in size.

Figure 1, in top or plan view, represents a temple and stand and part ofa breast-beam;

- Fig. 2, a sectional detail in the line m, Fig. 1;

and Fig. 3, a sectional detail in the line x.

The breast-beam A is embraced by a twopart clamp composed of angle-barset h, the part a having a series of notches d', while the part Z7 hastwo ears b', between which I have pivoted at hX a locking-lever` b2,having a lip b3, which engages one end of a clamping loop or link o, theopposite end of said loop engaging one or the other of said notches awhen the lever b2 stands upright, so that turning the said lever over tothe right, as in the drawings, will effectually bind the clamping partsonto the breastbeam, and it will also be seen that by putting said loopinto one or the other of the said notches d' the clamp may be made tocooperate with any-sized beam, the part a having an extension a2.

The right-angled bar or part d of the clamp has connected to it by aclamping-bolt d an arm d', having rising from it two short side walls e,between which is a removable top plate e', held in place, but removably,by a pin e2, a tailpiece e3 of said arm having a slot to receiveasetscrew e4, by which to keep the tailpiece seated on the extension a2,the head of the said screw being sunk flush into the tailpiece, thesaidwalls and top plate c forming a guide or stand for the temple-shank.The tailpiece terminates a little short of the extension d2 to leave ashoulder f.

The temple-head g, it containing any usual g of the shank of thetemplebeing reduced in size in cross section and made preferably round, thepart so reduced being surrounded by a spring g2. The part h, tlattenedor having faces, constitutes what I designate as the shaped part. Thissquared shank slides in the box made between the side walls e e and thetop e', and the action of the springe2normally keeps the said squaredpart between said walls, as shown by full lines in Figs. 1 and 2. When,however, a mispick is to be taken out of the cloth and it is desired tomove the temple out of its working position, the head and bar may bepushedback until the squared part h is removed from between the walls ee and the part g, of reduced diameter, enters between said walls, andthen the bar may be turned partially around, as shown by dotted lines,Fig. 2, and the edge of the stop h when the temple shank or bar isturned one-fourth around will catch behind the shoulder f and the templewill be held out of operation automatically;

Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

1. The temple-head, its shank, and the stand in which said shank is freeto slide, combined with a connected right-angled bar provided with aseries of notches, a second right-angled bar provided with a lever having aholding-lip between its end and fulcrum, and a loop engaging one ofthe notches of said right-angled bar and engaged by said lip, wherebythe templestand may be readily applied to or removed from thebreast--beam and be made to fit any usual-sized beam, substantially asdescribed. H

2. In a loom-temple, the right-angled bar d fitting the top and one sideof the breast-beam and presenting an extension d2; an arm d connected toa part of said bar and provided with two parallel upright walls c, e,and with an extension beyond the ends of said upright walls, theextension of said arm lying on said extension q2,combined with atemple-bar hav- IOO In testimony whereof I have signed my neme to thisspecification in the presence of 1o tWo subscribing Witnesses.
